Ossu! What kinda training are we doing today?!
‘Sup. We’re jumping rope.
Huh? Jump rope? It’s not that I don’t wanna, but it doesn’t seem like it has anything to do with karate…?
Don’t say that. It’s good for practicing your footwork, and for building up your stamina.
So I got you a jump rope. You can start by trying out the basic jump.
Got it! Nagumo Tetora reporting for duty!
Uwooooh~!
Hmm, looks like you’re havin’ no problem with the basics. Then you wanna take on the double under?1
Ossu! Just gotta turn it faster~…
Ow?! Ngh~ My feet got all tangled up in the rope—I totally faceplanted there!
Ngnghggh, wiggling around just got me even more tangled~?!
Calm down, Tetsu. If all ya do is turn it faster, you’re gonna get all caught up in it. I’ll try clapping my hands so you can get a feel for the rhythm.
It’s fine, no need to get all flustered. Just go at your own pace.
Taishou… Okay, I’ll keep going! I’ll show you I can master this double under~ ♪
A double under is when you flip the rope twice in the span of time it takes you to jump once. Here’s a video.
